Product Summary

The Empire encompassed thousands of worlds, with countless climate and terrain challenges. Their stormtrooper ranks reflected this through specialized units trained and equipped to operate in specific environments.

The sandtrooper is a desert terrain stormtrooper. Sandtroopers are largely identical to standard stormtroopers except they have additional training in specialized areas. Their armor consists of an 18-piece anti-blaster cocoon shell with heat-reflective coating worn over a temperature-control body glove. The sandtrooper helmet features automatic polarized lenses, a built-in comlink and breathing filters. These stormtroopers are specifically designed for high temperature environments. Instead of depending on machinery that may not function in hostile environments, sandtroopers make use of local creatures for transportation.

The stormtrooper detachment dispatched by Lord Darth Vader to investigate a crashed escape pod on Tatooine just prior to the Battle of Yavin consisted of sandtroopers. They had heavy weapons, survival gear, and shoulder pauldrons denoting rank.

I was able to find one of these from an Australian distributor, I think it may have been his last one as it sold out after that. For any collectors sake I hope they make more as this is just an awesome figure, great detail and accessories galore.

My dream has come true!

Been wanting to buy this figure.
Bought today! Despite the high price in the store (the last thing was). Took the box in his hands and could not help but buy it. Excellent copy number and quality!

Amazing Figure

I didn't know if I should buy this version, considering that I have all of the other sandtrooper versions, but I am glad I did. This is an amazing figure. I like the sand blown look on this version best. He looks great on the Dewback. Way to go SSC.

Fantastich!!

Terrific figure, highly detailed with 4 interchangeable weapons. Found one in stock from an Australian supplier, I must have got the last one so I was lucky. If you can find one well worth it. Will have to get the Dewback as well.

Beautiful, but get ready to guess

The detail is awesome, the finish is great... but for the money paid there should be some instruction as to what accessory goes where and how it attaches. I think the piece is beautiful ... I bought 2, one for my Dewback, one to stand nearby.

Beautiful!

Looks fantastic, large guns galore! As the other reviewer stated, the magnetic back/pack was ingenious. On a down side, he's extremely top heavy with the pack on and requires the stand to keep him upright. Other than that, I can only say its a pleasure to own this. Great work Sideshow!

Lived up to the expectations

I recived my Sandtrooper delux yesterday and it looks realy great and i prefere the lighter colors on the dust rather than the more brownish that is on Squadleader and i still think that the backpack is a bot of a hassle hehe. Now hes stands next to the squadleader waiting for the Dewback!

Well worth the wait!

This sand-blown trooper, my first SC purchase, arrived from Tatooine yesterday & I have to say he looks amazing! Very impressed overall, from the accurate armor sculpt, the many accessories, & body articulation. Magnetizing the backpack was ingenious, helping to keep it in place as I strapped it on.
